Miss Suzanne is a casual, comfortable cardigan that is as easy to knit as it is to wear. This open style cardigan takes its name from one of my knitting friends, a lady who always looks effortlessly stylish and put together. Miss Suzanne is the kind of sweater you’ll want to wear over pajamas on a lazy Sunday morning, or throw on as you run out the door. The simple shape is perfect for showing off a hand-painted yarn and the basic stitches don’t require too much attention. Subtle shaping details keep the knitting interesting.

This open-front cardigan is worked from the top-down in one piece with raglan shaping at the shoulders, and waist shaping at the back. It begins with a provisionally cast on shawl collar which is then worked simultaneously with the body of the cardigan.
